4 Fresh Tips for Holiday Hosting
Thinking of hosting a
holiday party? Jazz up your
event with these fresh tips.
Treats — Dazzle guests
with festive finger foods
to snack on while they
chat before the main
meal. Cranberry and Brie
mini tarts, a decorative
cheese platter, and a DIY
hot chocolate bar should
do the trick.
Décor — Create a warm
ambiance with festive
lighting. Take advantage
of seasonal candles for
a great scent and gentle
glow. A vase full of
holiday lights and small
ornaments makes for a
great centerpiece. Add
some gift wrapping
bows to the table for a
cost effective and nontraditional decoration.
Memories — Keep
conversation rolling with
some seasonal topics in
your back pocket. Pose
questions like “What is
the most off-the-wall gift
you’ve ever received?”
or “What is your most
cherished holiday
memory?“ Everyone likes
a trip down memory lane!
For the Road — Send
guests home with a
small gift bag of makeyour-own cinnamon
apple cider or homemade
peppermint bark. Add
a handwritten note to
thank guests for their
friendship and show
them some holiday cheer!
No matter how you choose to
celebrate the holidays, these
tips are sure to make guests
feel warm and welcome.
